  Not so good - 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By KellyDee - January 17 - 2:23 am

  Not the best car ever. I only get about 23 mpg doing regular driving of city and highway combined. Stock 10 point rims were bent and found out everyone was having problems with these rims, causing accidents. I replaced them immediately. Paint is peeling from a cheap clear coat. Second gear doesnt always catch. A lot of people have these problems, not just me. Trunk pulls broke. The only good thing is its fun to drive, and looks good. Handles turns pretty well. And does not suck up much oil at all.

  Satisfied - 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Consumer - October 9 - 7:53 pm

  So far, it is a good car, but then again i have only owned it for one month. hopefully itl keep me satisfied. stylish but hard to see out of the rear window because of spoiler. love the fog lamps, 7 speaker 200 watt sound system is entertaining. wish there was a rear window wiper. overall, so far it is a good car.

  Not a Camaro - 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Jarrett1967 - August 13 - 2:00 am

  I have a Mits 2002 Eclipse GT 5spd manual that under normal acceleration behaves very well with good gas mileage but a few revs of the motor can be very entertaining. Not as neck breaking as a sports car but fun nonetheless.

  Eclipse Owner - 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Eclipse owner - July 10 - 10:00 am

  I have had my car for almost three years, and until now I have had no problems whatsoever. However, recently I found that there was a problem with the ignition switch that is prevalent in all Eclipses. When it goes bad, the clock, radio, and air conditioning will sometimes not work. If I had not purchased my extended warranty, it would have cost $282 to have fixed. Other than this, I have loved my car.

  Entry level toy - 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Buddanos - June 7 - 10:00 am

  In my review to buy an entry level "toy" a sports coupe the Eclipse, Celica and Cougar were in my list. To olish my driving skills after several years of driving minivans! I picked the Eclipse GT mainly for the payment facilities, 2)head room, 3)sportronic-I prefer manual but that was a compromise for my wife, 4) shoulder room, 5) trunk capacity, 6) reasonable engine performance.

  Not a good car at all - 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By appared1992 - May 3 - 1:23 pm

  I have had this car for over a year and I have experienced problem after problem with it. 1. The shocks went out. 2. The transmission went out. 3. The car wouldnt shift correctly. 4. The air conditioner went out. 5. The "Service Engine" light is constantly on. 6. The rim to the wheel cracked. 7. The headlights barely light up anything, even in the darkest part of the night. 8. It always leaks when it rains. I have spent over $12,000 fixing this car, and Im about to spend another $1,000 to fix the air conditioner. I only recommend this car for people who like to spend money on their cars.

  Nice car - 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Ambular0832 - January 21 - 10:00 am

  I have had this vehicle for about 2 years. I have had great experiences with it. It has not broken down, or anything broke on the car, which is different from my neon that I had before.

  Best power for the price - 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By Mark V - September 17 - 2:56 am

  This car is a very fun car to drive. For $ 20000, you get more than 200 HP with an unmatched exterior styling which looks like a concept sports car. Also, the standard acessories are numerous. With the added leather and sunroof options you can get anything you have ever wanted in a sports car. Two thumbs up!!!

  Fun to Drive! - 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse
  By cyntax713 - May 23 - 6:26 pm

  Fun to drive, great on gas (especially the 5 speed), Everyone and I mean Everyone looks. Its a really fun sports car. You will definitely get bang for your buck! Just remember, keep up with maintenance!! Really really important. The engine can take a real beating in these cars, but you have got to do the timing belt and oil changes and you should be fine.
